Asbestos survey in Chale Green
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work, in plain English. Typical jobs include the communal parts of blocks of flats and pre-purchase checks on older properties, including textured ceilings, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks.
Village surveys around Chale Green can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. We only recommend work that’s needed.

What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

For businesses and landlords in Chale Green
If you manage or own a block in Chale Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

- Checks on rental property
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Community buildings and halls
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Common questions in Chale Green
Is asbestos common in Chale Green homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Chale Green may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Chale Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
